...Lewis, the Clinton-Gore campaign official who has perfect pitch on presidential spin, puts it this way: "Parents think it is a good idea that government helps them do this important work. To be on the side of parents, especially in households where everybody is squeezed for time and money, this is the right place...
...Craig Livingstone, the White House personnel security chief who resigned in June after his deputy was caught sniffing through the confidential FBI files of some 900 people. Last week it came out that Livingstone's resume boasted of his work as a "Senior Consultant to Counter-Event Operations, Clinton-Gore '92," a fancy way of saying he spent part of that campaign recruiting volunteers to dress up in chicken costumes and taunt George Bush.

Lockheed Martin's VentureStar, which would be built in nearby Palmdale, looks like no other spacecraft, and when Gore reached for a model airship shaped like a giant piece of pie, the group burst into applause. Undaunted, the Vice President plunged on with his scripted gag, "You don't have to be a rocket scientist to understand the importance of this moment...
